Turns out Qatar- the government that runs Al Jazeera had more to do with funding Hamas and sabotaging a peace deal than previously disclosed.

Great #WWDC opening.
So if I have this straight: ICE agents wearing masks is fine, but protesters wearing masks should be arrested — even if it’s legal — because Trump issued an online edict?
Seems ... flawed. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/pointing-protesters-not-ice-agents-trump-demands-arrests-masks-rcna211787
@timmiller.bsky.social: "The ICE raids are not happening at Donald Trump's golf courses or in deep red parts of the country. These raids are happening in blue cities... That shows just how much they want this fight."
Arrest Donald Trump.

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom.
"The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context."
Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"
@GottaLaff I think the Protestors should just quietly disperse to reform in another part of the city. Leave the military thugs alone in the streets. All workers for Home Depot should call out or have a sit in because no feels safe shopping under military threat.
Are the leaders on the ground able to committee and adjust quickly? Does anyone know?
@mcnado I wish the violent actors would stop or stay home.

Hey ICE agents, if you're searching for individuals & entities illegally employing undocumented immigrants (, who might also be contributing to the gross national product), look no further than to Donald J. Trump & his diverse properties — raid them, not peaceful hardworking immigrants, who are giving their priceless share to this country, not just taking, like Trump.
And please don't follow the Trump subversives' playbook to provoke public unrest by extremely brutal action, so the administration may feel encouraged to put into practice its insurrectionary plan to annihilate the authority of the U.S. Constitution, Rule of law & democratic system of government.

This is not even legal. Congress owns the purse strings. He can't even do it. It's all a complete distraction. I swear, the only thing this administration hates more than the new testament is the #constitution.
#Fugelsang: You ever notice nobody hates other Americans more than the Americans who keep boasting how #American they are?
California gives our country $80 billion more than it takes back. Is this Donald #Trump's way of saying he'd like to see California keep that money and not send it to red states where it can be good welfare cash for everybody else.

Canada must now confront the very real possibility that the current US federal government could eventually use critical minerals and water as a pretext to take control of North American territory it considers critical to its future security and affluence. . . . Canada, like our friends in Greenland and Panama, must now hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

During his first term, #Trump asked Defense Secretary Mark Esper to shoot protesters. Esper refused.
Now he has #PeteHegseth. God help us all
Many Border Patrol vehicles and other unmarked cars just exited the anti-#ICE protest area in #Paramount, California. They were met with fierce resistance from protesters, with a number of vehicles being visibly damaged.
